if you are a programmer I can send you a Perl script that will do this that uses trainenquiry.com.
it may need some editing as it hasnt been used for over a year and the trainenquiry inteface may have changed.

i don't think the interface has changed, but the number of days of past data has certainly come down - looks like now they purge it within 3 days or so...

you run the program every day, actually every hour or how ever often you like, it stores the data in files named after the train numbers, you can set up as many services you want.

here it is, or a version of it. I did say you had to be a programmer, but if any of you like hacking about this is a start.

Track your train on e-mail

There is a website www.oyatri.com which allows you to track your train. You give your train details and the website sends you updates of train movement.

Thumbs up

Oyarti.com has a very cool app. But their team needs to work hard on the look and feel of the website.
Present look is not great.

RailRadar

Hi Everybody,
IR has started a new service Railradar in collaboration with google to track the trains realtime. I think it will be useful for tourists.

regards

Konkan?

When I looked at it, no trains seemed to be shown along the coast between about Panvel and Mangalore. I wonder if the Konkan Railway is incorporated?

SMSing the train number of the trains (I gather only few elite trains) to 09415139139 or 09664139139 gives the location status. Not sure if it is fully rolled out yet. YMMV
